Happy Halloween!!!! We had a spooktacular day today with so many fun adventures! We decided to stay inside on this wet day and explored the Collaboratory. At our group time we used our 5 senses to explore a pumpkin. Some friends were brave enough to touch the slimy insides! I wanted to let the kiddos make all the decisions about what our Jack-o-Lantern should look like. They made suggestions for what shapes and how many to make the face of the pumpkin. We then voted: 2 circles for eyes, 1 triangle for a nose, and 1 smile with teeth! Our group time gave us plenty of opportunities to use our magic words LOOK and SEE. For centers: we played in our haunted house where we practiced trick or treating for tonight; scooped and poured in our sensory table while discussing which pumpkins were real and which were not real/fake; at our creation station we painted pumpkins we brought in or helped to paint our big classroom jack-o-lantern! After all of that we gathered at the carpet to make our friendship snack. It was fun mixing in all the ingredients to make one big bowl of yumminess! We munched and crunched while watching some fun Halloween stories :)
Thank to you Lair for giving each friend a special surprise today as well as the teachers!!!!!!
We hope everyone has a fun night while staying safe!
Flow of the day:
Table time during arrival: We do name work, reading, building, etc.
Since we stayed inside, our gross motor time is assigned and at an earlier time than normal. The collaboratory is a place where we can build, jump, play ball wall, and do wind tunnel.
